What Eyeshadow Shade Should You Be Wearing?

If the eyes are in fact the windows to our soul, we want them to be accented in the most flattering way possible, right? But we're creatures of beauty habit and can easily get a bit lazy and fall into a make up rut. Sometimes we need a nudge to try something new and then suddenly we're like, "Why didn't I try this sooner?!"

Well, we got a little help from our friend Carol Shaw -- celebrity makeup artist and creator of makeup line LORAC, which brings red-carpet glamour into the hands of real women like us. She lent us her expertise so that we could create this quiz that'll point you to your best eye makeup shade. Based on the questions we ask you -- such as your eye color, celeb makeup icon and makeup style -- these quiz results will yield the eyeshadow shade you should be wearing. Plus we offer up both a matte and shimmer product suggestion to make your next makeup-shopping trip a breeze.

The cool thing about eye makeup products today, is that there are all sorts of eyeshadow tools -- from powders to creams -- to suit your needs. Plus, we've noticed that smoky eye makeup is no longer limited to just grays, charcoals, silvers, etc. -- now you can create that sultry look using the color that best suits you, whether it's blue, purple or an earthy tone. Once you discover your most fab eyeshadow shade, Shaw has a tip for you: The key to eyeshadow is blending. So whether you use your finger, makeup brushes or a sponge, make sure to blend it well.

I got blue but my eyes change color so dark blue is probably not my color which is what the quiz told me lol. I prefer natural browns or purple or silver. Electic blue brings out my eyes but sadly I cannot pull off the dark blue which is my favorite color

Whenever I take one of these quizzes, they all tell me to wear purple eyeshadow because I have green eyes. I once had a complimentary makeover and was so excited until the cosmetologist busted out the purple eyeshadow. I don't want to wear purple eyeshadow! I know it makes my eyes pop, but I think the color is ugly. Why can't these quizzes offer other shades that go with green eyes...I know some metallics work well also.
